#11 IU vs #2 Kansas Game Thread

[ALASKA HOOSIER 11,256]

Let's get started on this discussion. A KU fan buddy of mine came in and was complaining about KU's exhibition game last night against Washburn. I guess their freshman Josh Jackson (#1 recruit in 2016) struggled initially in the game. Frank Mason did Frank Mason stuff and almost scored a triple double. He is going to be a tough matchup with TB. The kid can ball.  http://www.kansascity.com/sports/college/big-12/university-of-kansas/article111969697.html

I'm freaking stoked. Didn't get to watch the exhibition game. How's the point guard situation looking?

Our point guard is 6'8", is a great team leader and spokesman, has hair like Kid N' Play, and rebounds really well now that his shoulder is healed up!

lol.

TB won't be matched up with Frank Mason my friend.

Lol yeah he's their PG. With those stats he looks like a big though. That's a ton of rebounds for a 6 foot PG.

They turned it over 24 times to their opponents 20, and were outrebounded. Needless to say, I feel like we've got a good shot

What's up with Bragg? Big time flop so far. Was 5 star. Hardly played last year. Not a ton of minutes in that game either.

I like our odds much better after seeing Jackson struggle a bit and Bragg not dominant.

24 turnovers stick out to me

I'm interested to see who starts this game. Kansas' starting lineup for their exhibition game is closer to what they'll start in the opener than IU.

Lucas - Bryant

That's the only sure matchup I see. Does OG guard Jackson or Bragg? Who gets first shot at defending Mason?

Statement that will be repeated throughout the season: if we keep turnovers down and defend the paint we'll have a chance to win.

They'll have him around a bit but will overpay their next 5 star recruit.

Position-less basketball!

Bryant will guard Mason, Newkirk on Lucas, and MSB will be out in the parking lot pouring sugar in Bill Self's gas tank.

 

[ALASKA HOOSIER 11,256]

MSB!

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,930]

I'd like Rojo or Newkirk on Mason. OG on Graham, JB on Vick, Juwan on Bragg and TB on Lucas.

Something like that. That lineup gives us size advantage. Hoping TB, OG, Juwan log heavy minutes.

He didn't play last night because he was deep into training for his Kansas Special-Ops mission.

JB on Vick?

I'd like TB on Lucas, JMo on Bragg, starting guard not named JBJ on Mason, OG on whoever is scoring, and JBJ to just stay in front of their other guard.
